| Once upon a time, in a town called Shibuya, Tokyo, there lived a professor with a dog named Hachi. They were quite inseparable. It was like a daily schedule for Hachi to walk alone to the railway station to meet his daddy. One day the professor fell down while he was lecturing at the university and soon died. Hachi seemed to be unable to accept his daddy's death. He kept his daily schedule and waited for Daddy, which had lasted nearly 10 years until he died near the railway station. This is a true story like Greyfriars Bobby of Scotland. Dog lovers in Japan still call him Hachi-Ko with much affection. |
